ITAUMA EYES WALLIN or Franklin Fight promoter

Published

Promoter of Moses Itauma, Francis Warren, says that he is interested in Itauma (12-0, 10 KO), probably fighting with Otto Wallin or Jermaine Franklin, after the second technical knockout of Mike Baloguna last Saturday evening in Glasgow in Scotland.

Next ITAUMA fight options

Wallin lost two of the last four fights and is experiencing a 41-year-old journeyman Derek Chisor. Most fans would agree that Wallin would be a impoverished option for Itum to fight when it comes to developing him and give him. I have doubts whether it would be the goal of the management of Ituma in battle. The choice of Wallin, 34, would make itauma look good.

Francis also says he wants “Top 10“The opponent of Ituma in a bulky eliminator. The utilize of Wallin or Jermaine Franklin would not work if this path was followed. None of these journeymen were in the top ten by any of the four sanctioning bodies, and Franklin is not in the top 15.

Ituma is not ideal to go on an effortless way to become a must -have winner of Oleksandr Usyk vs. Daniel Dubois. 20-year-old Ituma is not developed, and impoverished supplies are constantly performed for it. This is criticism of boxing fans about Ituma.

Creating a false star

Ituma looks like it was created to make it look better than he. The opposition stuck to the ring so that Moses suggested to fight Is produced Be a false star.

The problem of this type of fighters is that they must be protected throughout their career to stop them from losing. We just saw another false Fury, repeatedly beaten, when he finally approached for the first time at the end of his career against his first quality warrior, Oleksandr Utyk.

In order for Ituma to be developed in a real way, he should fight these warriors for the next two or three years:

– Joseph Parker
– Agit Kabayel
– Zhilei Zhang
– Jalolov Yalolov
– Richard Torrez Jr.
– flying
– Filip Hrgovic
– Fabio Wardley
– Martin Bakole

It does not seem that the leadership of Moses Itum is interested in matching him to any of these warriors, except for the miserably poorly conditioned 300-pound bacon. I doubt Ituma would beat up to half of the above warriors, because he was hit and looked like Mike Balogun’s former NFL player last night.

Matchmaking: Smoke & Mirrors

“We want to fight someone in the top ten, and it would be an eliminator. I’m sure we’ll be able to do it,” said Francis Warren Boxnation About the next fight of Moses Itaum. “I think Otto Wallin would be great Fight for him next. “

Wallin would be a terrible choice because he can’t hit, a failure of Chisora ​​and probably would not give ituma rounds. Otto was knocked out in five rounds by Anthony Joshua in 2023. He was dropped twice by the washed Chisor in February last year. This tells you everything you need to know why Wallin would be chosen for the next opponent of Itum. It is an effortless sign and would not be a threat to the disclosure of 20-year-old Moses.

“Otto proved that he is a very strong, difficult opponent who gained respect from the boxing community because of the work he did against Tyson [Fury]Anthony [Joshua]Francis said. “He gave Derek [Chisora] A great fight and for Moses who wants to get a little is probably a great challenge. Jermaine Franklin is another one that I particularly like the appearance. By the end of the year, we will want to accelerate it much. “

Franklin has lost two of the last four fights and is not a ranking. ITAUMA management should be intentional higher than he and Wallin. Again, they should focus on matching Ituma to warriors such as Kabayel, Torrez Jr, Jalolov, Dubois, Ajagba and Wardley. If Ituma loses with these guys, his promoters can focus on developing him more. Until now, zero development has been made. He is fed with tomato cans to make it look great, but it is obvious that it is smoke and mirrors.

Bakole: not the level of ituma

“We get number 1 from WBO,” said Francis about the fact that Ituma is moved to the first place by the World Boxing Organization. “It is the best of WBA. It is, so we sit nicely with two organizations and I think it depends on us when we want to pull the trigger to raise our hands to go to the next stage.”

It is surprising that Ituma was raised to number 1 with WBO after he was a warrior without TOP 15, Balogun. How is this happening? Ituma has not yet fought with a pretender and probably should not be arranged at the highest level, taking into account the impoverished opposition he mowed. Ituma is matched, like Edgar Berlanga, when he promoted him the highest rank. At the beginning of his careers, they fed 16 unyielding, allowing him to create a 16-0 record with 16 knockouts. When he approached the journeymen, he began to fight and soon left the company. Ituma is moved like him.

“Choosing Martin Bakole is a large mistake. Even Frank [Warren] He knows that I am not his level – said Martin Bakole for boxing TalkSport, he explains that he considers Moses Itauma as under his level at which he works. “I can’t wait to fight for the world championship title. If I want to fight me, I don’t know why I would fight him. For what?”

Oleksandr Usyk is naming the heavyweight fight he wants after Rico Verhoeven

Oleksandr Usyk names the heavyweight fight he wants after Rico Verhoeven

Oleksandr Usyk is taking Rico Verhoeven seriously, perhaps because he will face a bigger challenge later.

The elite southpaw will face kickboxing icon Verhoeven on May 23 in Egypt in a fight focused on spectacle after years of hard-fought victories on the road. Even though Usyk has strayed from his usual matchmaking, he has now assured fans that they can expect a return to top-level championship boxing later.

Speaking on DAZN’s Inside the Ring, Usyk revealed that after the fight, his goal would be to become the undisputed heavyweight champion for a third time, with his primary goal being either Daniel Dubois or Fabio Wardley.

“For me it’s a real fight. Yes, Rico is not a good boxer, ok, nice fight, no problem, but I want my next fight [against the] Daniel Dubois and Wardley winner.”

Wardley was promoted from interim to full WBO champion when the Ukrainian vacated the belt rather than face him as mandatory challenger. His first defense against Dubois, scheduled for May 9 in Manchester, is perilous.

This is a legacy-based strategy that Usyk has used in the past, dropping the IBF belt to allow Dubois’ elevation, defending against Anthony Joshua, and then facing him to regain the belt. If “DDD” defeats Wardley, he could expect a trilogy fight, but fan interest may wane given how the first two fights went.

It all depends on whether Usyk retains his three titles. Although the fight for the WBC belt with Verhoeven is highly controversial, the IBF and WBA leagues have not been mentioned yet. The sanctioning authorities may well decide to declare a vacancy in their belts.

Tank Davis is eyeing a rematch with Isaac Cruz after a tough fight in 2021

Fighters like Raymond Muratalla, Abdullah Mason, William Zepeda and Floyd Schofield represent the direction many expected from Davis, making the return to Cruz a remarkable step, even if the first fight remains the one fans remember.

The fight is being discussed in the 140-pound weight class. Their first meeting took place at lightweight in December 2021 and ended in a unanimous decision for Davis after twelve rounds.

Cruz’s pressure forced Davis (30-1, 28 KO) in a cautious fight rather than the knockout victories that marked much of his career. Davis injured his left hand early in the fight and relied heavily on movement, defense and counters with his right hand while Cruz continued to press forward and raise the volume of his throws.

The judges scored the fight 115-113, 115-113 and 116-112 for Davis. Cruz’s pressure kept the contest close and led to a physical twelve-round battle that looked different than many of Davis’ other victories.

Cruz (26-2-1, 18 KO) continued to build his record after this fight, and his victories put him near the top of the division. His aggressive style and willingness to constantly push forward made it the first fight that fans still bring up when discussing Davis’ toughest fights.

Davis most recently fought to a twelve-round draw against Lamont Roach in March 2025 and has been inactive since that fight. A second fight with Cruz would mark a return to a fight that continues to attract attention whenever we analyze Davis’ career.

A novel element is the weight class. Discussions about a rematch point to a fight at 140 pounds, rather than the lightweight limit where they first met.

Keyshawn Davis says he is ‘moving up in weight for championship fight’

Keyshawn Davis has been linked to a move up to welterweight in recent weeks, and it appears “The Businessman” will be making the jump soon, with the “championship fight” date reportedly set at 147 pounds.

Davis was stripped of his WBO lightweight title when he missed weight last June for his scheduled first defense against Edwin De Los Santos. He then moved up to super lightweight and knocked out Jamaine Ortiz in the final round of their fight on the Teofimo Lopez vs. card. Shakur Stevenson.

In the wake of that victory, the Norfolk-born superstar called for a fight against current WBO welterweight world champion Devin Haney, who originally agreed to the fight before negotiations stalled.

As a result, it looked like Davis might stay at 140 pounds, but in… interview for FightHubThe 27-year-old revealed that he has a date for a “championship fight” in preparation for his 147-pound debut.

“I definitely got a response [from the people I called out] and I definitely have a date too. I’m telling you all this now and I’ll definitely be back sooner than you all think. That’s why you saw me playing politics in the gym.

“It’s political, but I’m really staying pointed. Don’t fuck up, I’m staying astute. There’s something coming.”

“I think I’m moving up [to 147lbs]. Yes, [for a championship fight]”

Haney seemed to be close to securing a unification fight with WBA champion Rolando Romero Lewis Crocker (IBF) postponed his match with Liam Paro due to injuryand Ryan Garcia (WBC) is looking elsewhere. It’s unclear where Davis fits.
